hey people. searching for a one way on kayak, leaving BMA (stockholm) @910am and arriving in HEL (helsinki) has been pretty glitchy.
the results all range between 70-100USD, which is perfect. but when i go to book (ie finnair) it comes out to 3500SEK which is 500 bucks. anyone have this problem before?
ideally id fly out of BMA instead of ARN because ill be staying right in the city center. has anyone dealt with something like this?

Does the same thing to me (I picked Aug 15 at random). I wonder if Kayak has a bad exchange rate in their system, maybe.
Contact them?

ill send them a note now.
im assuming arlanda is the more common hub to get to HEL. tickets from there to HEL are 100USD flat, +60USD on top of that for the train.

so i sent them a note, and within 3 mins they replied that there seemed to be an issue with the data sent from the flight provider.
impressively quick response ...

What date are you looking for? Using August 15 and return Aug 22, Finnair web site gives RT for 761 SEK. Use the first leg and abandon the second.

Finnair does not sell cheap one way tickets. Either buy a return ticket and discard the return part or look into Norwegian or Blue1 from ARN.

$160 for 2 or $160 each? Still trying to decide between flying and taking the overnight ferry...

If you don't have a very early flight to catch, you can save on ground transport.
The airport bus leaves every 10 min from the bus terminal adjacent to the Central Station (1½ floor up from Arlanda express entrance) Travel time 40-45 min, price 99 SEK (1-4 kids >14 go for free with one paying parent)
The express train leaves every 15 min and is 280 SEK ~40$. Travel time 20 min. Since you are travelling on Oct 22 (Monday), you can't use the weekend rebate of 2-4-1.
